Promising results of TAVR in Bicuspid Aortic

Original title: Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Bicuspid Aortic Valve Disease. Reference: Darren Mylotte, et al. J Am Coll Cardiol 2014;64:2330-9 The bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is present between 0.5% and 2% of the general population and up to 20% of patients older than 80 years who require aortic valve surgery. Literature on     transcatheter aortic valve...

TAVR: Regression of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy Decreases Re-hospitalization

Original title: Early Regression of Severe Left Ventricular Hypertrophy After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Is Associated with Decreased Hospitalization. Reference: Brian Lindman, et al. JACC Cardiovasc Interv 2014;7:662-73.   Left ventricular hypertrophy, defined by the increase of left ventricular mass, has long been associated to increased morbi-mortality in the context of different heart conditions. LV hypertrophy regression might...

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in patients with low ejection fraction: comparable outcomes with good ejection fraction patients.

Original title: Relation of Pre-procedural Assessment of Myocardial Contractility Reserve on Outcomes of Aortic Stenosis Patients with Impaired Left Ventricular Function Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation Reference: Israel M. Barbash et al. Am J Cardiol. 2014, Epub ahead of print.   Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVI) is associated with a better left ventricular function (LV) in patients with...

Predilation with smaller valvuloplasty balloon diameter could reduce the need for permanent pacemaker after CoreValve

Original title: Reduction of pacemaker implantation rates alter CoreValve implantation by moderate predilatation Reference: Philipp Lange, et al. EuroIntervention 2014;9:1151-1159 Aortic valve implantation has been proven a valid strategy to treat high risk patients. The CoreValve self-expanding transcatheter aortic valve is associated with a relatively high rate of permanent pacemaker implantation and, until now, no efforts have been...

Automatic measurement of the aortic annulus by TAC , more precisely to choose the correct valve size.

Original title: Automated 3-Dimensional Aortic Annular Assessment by Multidetector Computed Tomography in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation. Reference: Yusuke Watanabe et al. J Am Coll Cardiol Intv 2013;6:955–64. Percutaneous aortic valve implantation ( TAVI ) has emerged as an alternative for patients with severe aortic stenosis and high surgical risk. While this technique was improved over the time, residual paravalvular regurgitation...

Aortic Valvuloplasty in the transcatheter aortic valve implantation era 

Original title: Emerging indications, in-hospital and long-term outcome of balloon aortic valvuloplasty in the transcatheter aortic valve implantation era. Reference: Francesco Saia et al. EuroIntervention 2013;8:1388-1397 Until a few years ago, aortic valvuloplasty had been abandoned by many centers due to its limited results and frequent complications. The current guidelines recommend aortic valvuloplasty to treat patients with symptomatic...
